Done Deal at Craven Cottage
Loan spell over. Permanent chapter begins.
Fulham have confirmed the permanent signing of Jonah Kusi-Asare from Bayern Munich for an undisclosed fee, with the 18-year-old joining on a five-year contract and a club option to extend by a further 12 months. The deal ends a successful trial period that convinced the Cottagers to make their move.
Kusi-Asare spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Fulham after Bayern opted to bring in Nicolas Jackson, pushing the young Swede down the pecking order and prompting a temporary switch to West London. He wasted no time settling in. He demonstrated promise across 10 first-team appearances and was prolific for the Under-21s, scoring four times in five matches and averaging a goal every 92 minutes.
The player himself had no doubts. “I’m very happy to be a permanent Fulham player. From my first week here, it was very good. I felt like I was part of the Fulham family,” Kusi-Asare told the club’s official channel.

Bayern Hold a Safety Net
Smart business from both sides.
Reports indicate Bayern Munich secured a buy-back clause within the deal, keeping a future option on the teenager despite selling him permanently. The reported fee sits at around €6 million. A modest outlay, given the upside Kusi-Asare carries.
Fulham’s Director of Football Operations Tony Khan described Kusi-Asare as a very talented young player with massive potential and a bright future, and the structure of the contract reflects that long-term thinking. Five years. Extension option. Buy-back clause attached.
